Among the pioneer women of San Joaquin County is Mrs. Eliza Demoretta Fore, residing two miles west of Lodi on the Kelly Road, where she owns an excellent ten-acre ranch all under cultivation. She is a good business manager, and since her husband's death has most creditably borne the obligations and duties laid upon her by that event. She is a native of Cameron, Missouri, a daughter of John and Catherine (Nave) Miner, both parents being natives of Kentucky, where her father plied his trade of saddlemaker and also engaged in farming pursuits; later he became a merchant. There were six children in the family, namely: Malissa, Cassa, Winfield Scott, Eliza, our subject, and Joseph. Thee father lived to be seventy-five years old and the mother ninety-five.
Eliza Demoretta received her education in the grammar schools of Cameron, Missouri, and on March 4, 1877, was married to Millard Henry Fore, also a native of Missouri, a son of Charles Fore, who was a farmer. Mr. Fore owned eighty acres in Linn County, Missouri, and on this farm the young married couple lived until 1882, when they sold it and came west to Oregon, where he purchased land and resumed his farming pursuits, also leasing 250 acres. However, they resided in Oregon only one year, then removed to Woodbridge, where he made his home until his death in 1909. Seven years ago, Mrs. Fore built a house on their ten-acre vineyard property, where she now resides.
Mr. and Mrs. Fore were the parents of eight children: Charles Rucker is married and a rancher; Clarence Lester is married and has one daughter, Phyllis Lucile; Jewell Pearl, Mrs. Grimsley, has one daughter, Golden Madue; Goldie, Mrs. Guy C. Lewis, has two sons, Torrence and Roland; Millard L. resides on the home place; Claude Elmo is married and has three children, Claude Elmo, Jr., Burdette Marion, and Dorothy Lorraine; Burdette Cornell lives at home; and Noble D. resides at Stockton. Three of the sons served their country during the World War. Millard served in England as a cook in the officers' department; Burdette served in France in Company C, 145th Machine Gun Battalion of the 40th Division; and Noble was in Company 10 A of the recruit camp at Camp Kearney.
Mrs. Fore is a Democrat in her political affiliations. She is a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion, the Women's North Side Club, and the White Apron Club of Lafayette Hall district. Mrs. Fore has favored all measures for the promotion of the social, material, intellectual and moral welfare of her community, where she has made many friends. During the forty years of her residence in San Joaquin County, she has seen many changes and has watched the development of San Joaquin County as it has emerged from pioneer conditions to become a factor in the progress and prosperity of the state.
